Reightman is distraught over the murder of her friend and partner,
Sam Jackson. The Guzman murder case has been closed, but she knows
the real killer is still out there somewhere. Toby Bailey’s
discovery of a set of incriminating photos proved there were more
people involved in Geri Guzan’s death than just Dr. Lieberman, but
getting anyone to listen is more of a challenge than she’d ever
imagined. She’s going to need help convincing the powers that be
that the case needs to be reopened, but she’ll find a way to do it.
It’s the only choice she has if she wants to discover who’s
behind it all.

Toby’sstill struggling with Geri’s death and the shock at having been thetarget of a hitman. Detective Jackson took the bullet meant for himand saved his life, and he doesn’t understand how things could havegone so very wrong. No one should have known about the evidence Gerileft behind, but it’s the only explanation that makes any sense. Hehas a hunch things are going to get worse, so he’ll just have topull up his pants and get on with whatever needs to be done to helpDetective Reightman figure things out.

Andas for John Brown? He’s just worried he won’t get paid afterbotching the hit on Toby, and can’t help wondering what will happennext. It wasn’t really his fault. Mistakes were bound to happenwhen things got complicated, but who knew this would be such a hardjob?

In
Skin Puppet: Reightman & Bailey Book Three, the whole gang from
Capital Street is back and almost ready for business. It’s just two
weeks until The Reightman & Bailey Agency officially opens, but
Melba Reightman and Toby Bailey have things pretty much under
control. After the horrific events of the last six months, things are
starting to feel normal again.

Aninconvenient lisp from a busted lip isn’t slowing Toby down, but itmakes him sound embarrassing like a cartoon character. And there’sthe whole awkward situation with Jon Chiang. One minute Zhou Li’snephew is cold and distant, and the next minute…well, Toby couldswear the guy might be interested in something more. It’s all veryconfusing.

Melba’sgot her hands full completing last minute paperwork so they can openfor business. There’s the huge stack of invitations Madame Zhoudropped off, all needing to be hand-addressed. Melba doesn’t seethe need for a huge grand opening party, but there’s no point inarguing with the bossy owner of Green Dragon. To top things off, ZhouLi is strongly hinting that Melba needs a new dress.

With
so much going on, the reports of children missing from the local area
haven’t really registered on anyone’s radar. The single flyer
posted by a desperate mother looking for her daughter was disturbing,
but it’s really a matter for the local police, not the Reightman &
Bailey Agency. Right?
